“…48 Particular attention should be paid to subjects with MCI, who may recognize their own cognitive decline and, consequently, develop mood disorders and other afflictions, as well as demonstrate reduced self-esteem and affliction due to fear of developing dementia. 49 Surely, in these subjects, cognitive training should be conducted with full attention to the mental state of the individual, because the risk exists of aggravating their awareness of memory decline, exacerbating the sense of self-efficacy with consequent worsening of quality of life. 48 …”

Cognitive decline and dementia represent very important public health problems that impact the ability to maintain social function and independent living. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a nonpharmacological intervention consisting of comprehensive cognitive training in elderly people having one of three different cognitive statuses. In all, 321 elderly people with a diagnoses of mild–moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD), with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and without cognitive decline were randomly assigned to two groups: experimental group (EG, who underwent intervention) and control group (CG), according to a prospective randomized intervention study. In the three groups, immediately after the end of the intervention, we observed a significant effect on some cognitive and noncognitive outcomes in the EGs. At the end of the intervention, we found an intermediate intervention effect on the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS) score of subjects with AD, as well as on functional status, as measured by using the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living scale. A significant intervention effect was also observed on enhancement of auditory verbal short-term memory and subjective memory complaints of subjects with MCI. The group of subjects without cognitive decline obtained a significant intervention effect on subjective complaints outcomes. The obtained results demonstrated that participation in the intervention could improve performance with respect to specific cognitive functions and psychological statuses. The role of healthy lifestyle programs, such as the use of comprehensive interventions, has been shown to be efficient for enhancing memory and other abilities in aged individuals with and without cognitive decline.

“…SMCs were shown to correlate with informants' memory rating in adults diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or dementia (Abner, Kryscio, Caban-Holt, & Schmitt, 2015; Buckley et al, 2015; Salem, Vogel, Ebstrup, Linneberg, & Waldemar, 2015), and to correlate with subjective mood (Yates, Clare, Woods, & Matthews, 2015). SMCs have also been associated with poorer verbal episodic memory performance (Gifford et al, 2015).…”

Subjective memory complaints are associated with poorer cognitive performance in adults with HIV

2016

With successful antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the US, HIV-positive adults now routinely survive into old age. However, increased life expectancy with HIV introduces the added complication of age-related cognitive decline. Aging with HIV has been associated with poorer cognitive outcomes compared to HIV-negative adults. While up to 50% of older HIV-positive adults will develop some degree of cognitive impairment over their lifetime, cognitive symptoms are often not consistently monitored, until those symptoms are significant enough to impair daily life. In this study we found that subjective memory complaint (SMC) ratings correlated with measurable memory performance impairments in HIV-positive adults, but not HIV-negative adults. As the HIV-positive population ages, structured subjective cognitive assessment may be beneficial to identify the early signs of cognitive impairment, and subsequently allow for earlier interventions to maintain cognitive performance as these adults continue to survive into old age.

“…In the cognitive aging literature, subjective cognitive impairment, or the patient's own appraisal of how their memory is functioning, has shown some success in adults with age-related cognitive disorders, such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early stages of Alzheimer's disease [99-101], though not as reliably in cognitively normal older adults. One study has shown that the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was able to detect cognitive impairments in aging HIV-positive veterans [102].…”

Purpose of Review As of the year 2016, an estimated 50% of the United States' HIV-Positive population is aged 50 years or older. Due to a combination of increased rates of infection in older adults, and successful anti-retroviral (ART) regimens allowing HIV-positive adults to survive for decades with the disease, we are now faced with a steadily graying HIV-positive population, with only limited knowledge of how the cognitive and physiological effects of aging intersect with those of chronic HIV-infection. Recent Findings Age-related changes to mood, cognition, and neurological health may be experienced differently in those living with HIV, and research concerning quality of life, mental health, and cognitive aging needs to account for and explore these factors more carefully in the coming years. Summary This review will explore the topic of cognitive aging with HIV: 1. Central nervous system (CNS) infection of HIV and how the virus affects brain integrity and function; 2. Cognitive and behavioral symptoms of HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders (HAND); 3. Neurobiological theories of Cognitive Aging and how these processes may be exacerbated by HIV-infection; 4: Clinical implications and complications of aging with HIV and factors that may result in poorer cognitive outcomes.
